I dont really care what topic we talk about. But in my opinion when we
planned the email server topic (sendmail vs. qmail) Bob and Mark gave the 
presentation... It was Awsome.. We did talk about other topics also but
sendmail and qmail were the main topic. The meeting had structure.. You
went expecting to talk about a topic and we did. I would think if we
tried to have "structured" meetings we would have more people showing up.
